I quit job immed. to go to another job, got laid off. Filed for unemployment. Benefits kicked back to first job because i didn't make enough money at other job. Can I be denied unemployment because I didn't give notice to first job? Do I legally have to give notice before I quit in order to collect unemployment?

You can't get unemployment if you quit, period. It doesn't matter how much notice you gave.
Sorry about your subsequent job. Too bad you weren't at it long enough to qualify.

You don't need to give notice, it's to prevent burning bridges. Because you were laid off from the 2nd job, that company should be the one to pay you the unemployment benefits. I didn't know that just because you didn't make enough salary, that they can not cover you for unemployment.
Unfortunately, if that's the case, because you quit your first job, that doesn't qualify as unemployment. The only time you can get unemployment is if they laid you off. That doesn't mean fired. If you get fired on the job, you also do not qualify for unemployment.
I suggest you call your 2nd job (the one that laid you off) HR department and ask them about unemployment benefits since you were laid off by them. Or, contact EDD.

I didn't think you could get unemployment if you quit. How long were you at the job you got laid off from? I think that if you are qualified for unemployment from the layoff then it doesn't matter about the job you quit. They are just looking at how much money you made there. Does that make any sense?

As long as you were legally employed by the second employer, and got laid off, then you should be entitled to unemployment. The benefits will refer back to the former employer if you had less than one calendar quarter of work with the second.

Collecting unempoyment is pretty hard if you voluntarily quit. I've never had anyone collect after they quit. You'd need some really good reason, other than wanting a different job. you'd have to show abuse or unfair working conditions to collect.

you will be paid based on you eligibility from the job you filed under. If you don't qualify for it under that job, they will see if you are eligible from a previous job.
You are usually not eligible when you voluntarily quit your job. They will likely deny you benefits.

I don't think you can get unemployment at all if you quit. I think that is reserved for people who are layed off or unrightfully fired.

I think you have to be fired to collect unemployment.
